Stack unwinding // Implementation of Rust stack unwinding // // For background on exception handling and stack unwinding please see // "Exception Handling in LLVM" (llvm.org/docs/ExceptionHandling.html) and // documents linked from it. // These are also good reads: // http://theofilos.cs.columbia.edu/blog/2013/09/22/base_abi/ // http://monoinfinito.wordpress.com/series/exception-handling-in-c/ // http://www.airs.com/blog/index.php?s=exception+frames // // ~~~ A brief summary ~~~ // Exception handling happens in two phases: a search phase and a cleanup phase. // // In both phases the unwinder walks stack frames from top to bottom using // information from the stack frame unwind sections of the current process's // modules ("module" here refers to an OS module, i.e. an executable or a // dynamic library). // // For each stack frame, it invokes the associated "personality routine", whose // address is also stored in the unwind info section. // // In the search phase, the job of a personality routine is to examine exception // object being thrown, and to decide whether it should be caught at that stack // frame. Once the handler frame has been identified, cleanup phase begins. // // In the cleanup phase, personality routines invoke cleanup code associated // with their stack frames (i.e. destructors). Once stack has been unwound down // to the handler frame level, unwinding stops and the last personality routine // transfers control to its' catch block. // // ~~~ Frame unwind info registration ~~~ // Each module has its' own frame unwind info section (usually ".eh_frame"), and // unwinder needs to know about all of them in order for unwinding to be able to // cross module boundaries. // // On some platforms, like Linux, this is achieved by dynamically enumerating // currently loaded modules via the dl_iterate_phdr() API and finding all // .eh_frame sections. // // Others, like Windows, require modules to actively register their unwind info // sections by calling __register_frame_info() API at startup. In the latter // case it is essential that there is only one copy of the unwinder runtime in // the process. This is usually achieved by linking to the dynamic version of // the unwind runtime. // // Currently Rust uses unwind runtime provided by libgcc. use any::{Any, AnyRefExt}; use cast; use fmt; use kinds::Send; use mem; use option::{Some, None, Option}; use owned::Box; use prelude::drop; use ptr::RawPtr; use result::{Err, Ok}; use rt::backtrace; use rt::local::Local; use rt::task::Task; use str::Str; use task::TaskResult; use intrinsics; use uw = rt::libunwind; pub struct Unwinder { unwinding: bool, cause: Option> } impl Unwinder { pub fn new() -> Unwinder { Unwinder { unwinding: false, cause: None, } } pub fn unwinding(&self) -> bool { self.unwinding } pub fn try(&mut self, f: ||) { use raw::Closure; use libc::{c_void}; unsafe { let closure: Closure = cast::transmute(f); let ep = rust_try(try_fn, closure.code as *c_void, closure.env as *c_void); if !ep.is_null() { rtdebug!("caught {}", (*ep).exception_class); uw::_Unwind_DeleteException(ep); } } extern fn try_fn(code: *c_void, env: *c_void) { unsafe { let closure: || = cast::transmute(Closure { code: code as *(), env: env as *(), }); closure(); } } extern { // Rust's try-catch // When f(...) returns normally, the return value is null. // When f(...) throws, the return value is a pointer to the caught // exception object. fn rust_try(f: extern "C" fn(*c_void, *c_void), code: *c_void, data: *c_void) -> *uw::_Unwind_Exception; } } pub fn begin_unwind(&mut self, cause: Box) -> ! { rtdebug!("begin_unwind()"); self.unwinding = true; self.cause = Some(cause); rust_fail(); // An uninlined, unmangled function upon which to slap yer breakpoints #[inline(never)] #[no_mangle] fn rust_fail() -> ! { unsafe { let exception = box uw::_Unwind_Exception { exception_class: rust_exception_class(), exception_cleanup: exception_cleanup, private: [0, ..uw::unwinder_private_data_size], }; let error = uw::_Unwind_RaiseException(cast::transmute(exception)); rtabort!("Could not unwind stack, error = {}", error as int) } extern "C" fn exception_cleanup(_unwind_code: uw::_Unwind_Reason_Code, exception: *uw::_Unwind_Exception) { rtdebug!("exception_cleanup()"); unsafe { let _: Box = cast::transmute(exception); } } } } pub fn result(&mut self) -> TaskResult { if self.unwinding { Err(self.cause.take().unwrap()) } else { Ok(()) } } } // Rust's exception class identifier.

More importantly, personality routines have to // handle various platform quirks, which are not fun to maintain. For this // reason, we attempt to reuse personality routine of the C language: // __gcc_personality_v0. // // Since C does not support exception catching, __gcc_personality_v0 simply // always returns _URC_CONTINUE_UNWIND in search phase, and always returns // _URC_INSTALL_CONTEXT (i.e. "invoke cleanup code") in cleanup phase. // // This is pretty close to Rust's exception handling approach, except that Rust // does have a single "catch-all" handler at the bottom of each task's stack. // So we have two versions: // - rust_eh_personality, used by all cleanup landing pads, which never catches, // so the behavior of __gcc_personality_v0 is perfectly adequate there, and // - rust_eh_personality_catch, used only by rust_try(), which always catches. // This is achieved by overriding the return value in search phase to always // say "catch!". #[cfg(not(target_arch = "arm"), not(test))] #[doc(hidden)] #[allow(visible_private_types)] pub mod eabi { use uw = rt::libunwind; use libc::c_int; extern "C" { fn __gcc_personality_v0(version: c_int, actions: uw::_Unwind_Action, exception_class: uw::_Unwind_Exception_Class, ue_header: *uw::_Unwind_Exception, context: *uw::_Unwind_Context) -> uw::_Unwind_Reason_Code; } #[lang="eh_personality"] #[no_mangle] // so we can reference it by name from middle/trans/base.rs pub extern "C" fn rust_eh_personality( version: c_int, actions: uw::_Unwind_Action, exception_class: uw::_Unwind_Exception_Class, ue_header: *uw::_Unwind_Exception, context: *uw::_Unwind_Context ) -> uw::_Unwind_Reason_Code { unsafe { __gcc_personality_v0(version, actions, exception_class, ue_header, context) } } #[no_mangle] // referenced from rust_try.ll pub extern "C" fn rust_eh_personality_catch( version: c_int, actions: uw::_Unwind_Action, exception_class: uw::_Unwind_Exception_Class, ue_header: *uw::_Unwind_Exception, context: *uw::_Unwind_Context ) -> uw::_Unwind_Reason_Code { if (actions as c_int & uw::_UA_SEARCH_PHASE as c_int) != 0 { // search phase uw::_URC_HANDLER_FOUND // catch! } else { // cleanup phase unsafe { __gcc_personality_v0(version, actions, exception_class, ue_header, context) } } } } // ARM EHABI uses a slightly different personality routine signature, // but otherwise works the same. #[cfg(target_arch = "arm", not(test))] #[allow(visible_private_types)] pub mod eabi { use uw = rt::libunwind; use libc::c_int; extern "C" { fn __gcc_personality_v0(state: uw::_Unwind_State, ue_header: *uw::_Unwind_Exception, context: *uw::_Unwind_Context) -> uw::_Unwind_Reason_Code; } #[lang="eh_personality"] #[no_mangle] // so we can reference it by name from middle/trans/base.rs pub extern "C" fn rust_eh_personality( state: uw::_Unwind_State, ue_header: *uw::_Unwind_Exception, context: *uw::_Unwind_Context ) -> uw::_Unwind_Reason_Code { unsafe { __gcc_personality_v0(state, ue_header, context) } } #[no_mangle] // referenced from rust_try.ll pub extern "C" fn rust_eh_personality_catch( state: uw::_Unwind_State, ue_header: *uw::_Unwind_Exception, context: *uw::_Unwind_Context ) -> uw::_Unwind_Reason_Code { if (state as c_int & uw::_US_ACTION_MASK as c_int) == uw::_US_VIRTUAL_UNWIND_FRAME as c_int { // search phase uw::_URC_HANDLER_FOUND // catch! } else { // cleanup phase unsafe { __gcc_personality_v0(state, ue_header, context) } } } } #[cold] #[no_mangle] #[cfg(not(test))] pub extern fn rust_fail_bounds_check(file: *u8, line: uint, index: uint, len: uint) -> ! { use str::raw::c_str_to_static_slice; let msg = format!("index out of bounds: the len is {} but the index is {}", len as uint, index as uint); begin_unwind(msg, unsafe { c_str_to_static_slice(file as *i8) }, line) } // Entry point of failure from the libcore crate #[no_mangle] #[cfg(not(test))] pub extern fn rust_begin_unwind(msg: &str, file: &'static str, line: uint) -> ! { use str::StrAllocating; begin_unwind(msg.to_owned(), file, line) } /// The entry point for unwinding with a formatted message. /// /// This is designed to reduce the amount of code required at the call /// site as much as possible (so that `fail!()` has as low an impact /// on (e.g.) the inlining of other functions as possible), by moving /// the actual formatting into this shared place. #[inline(never)] #[cold] pub fn begin_unwind_fmt(msg: &fmt::Arguments, file: &'static str, line: uint) -> ! { // We do two allocations here, unfortunately.
